Thanks Ian, though I note you haven't quit lately
OK, time for an update... Not a lot has happened of late as I've been devoting a fair bit of time to the
Miniature Railway Museum Trust. However, yesterday I was due to go and help with a 15" railway belonging to another of the 'Gnotters', but that was snowed off so I found myself with a free day. So, progress!
Last month I found the time to mock up the interior detail that would clutter the doorway:

Packing cases are the Hornby OO gauge 'Lowmac' load, which cut carefully has made three cases in G (you can't see the other, tucked behind the left-hand door). Painted and weathered they look suprisingly good. Oil drum is a Sidelines casting with an old Mabex 'BP' transfer:

Elsewhere some plantlife has shot up, simple sea moss bushes with scenic materials applied using hairspray:

Overall the module looks like this:

The edges of the chocolate box have now been painted, but I'm not sure if I can live with the cut-off of the wall at the baseboard edge painted black like that, I may re-think this and have the wall collapsing. The eagle eyed will notice that the piece of wood at the right hand end of the warehouse that was to carry a pipe has gone, on closer inspection there is a square cut out ready for...
A
Unit Models fan (O gauge range), with an added grille/safety cover rom some etched material purchased eons ago:

The new simpler cassette is also now built:

(Yes, I am running out of sleepers!)
Other than adding the now painted fan assembly, seeing to that wall and adding a sign somewhere about the place, I think that is almost it for now...
